A thread on Reddit has become extremely popular in recent days, trending on social media. The title of the post is “Great Moments in Anime That Got Ruined?” which has caught the attention of many fans. They continuously share their opinions about scenes that promised to be spectacular but, for some reason, did not meet expectations.
In the discussion chain, users talked about moments that, in theory, should have been unforgettable, whether due to emotions, impressive action, or humor. However, for various reasons, these moments were overshadowed by decisions made in the anime or even external factors, such as the director’s choices or adaptation issues. Each user has their own experience, and the discussion is filled with examples of how some decisions, both inside and outside the anime universe, conflicted with moments that could have been truly powerful.

The interesting thing about all of this is that it is not just complaints but also how fans analyze and share their own ideas on what would make those scenes great again. Discussions like this show how much anime fans truly care about the quality of what they watch and continue to expect the best from each series.
Here are some fan comments on this issue:
– Meliodas vs. Escanor. This was a highly anticipated battle by manga fans, but ultimately it was criticized in the anime, turning the entire anime into a joke for a while.
– The fight between Meliodas and Escanor severely tarnished the reputation of The Seven Deadly Sins.
– The entire Battle Royale section in Index S3 was supposed to be an epic battle, but they really ruined that whole season.
– The return of Berserk should have been a monumental moment, but the anime was handled with the worst CGI technology.
– I almost dropped Vinland Saga when they didn’t show the meeting scene between Leif and Thorfinn. It was really built up throughout the entire show, but then no one mentioned it.
– The Gantz anime is really hit or miss. Many moments in the manga are great, but the anime directed them in a way that made them terrible.
– The penultimate episode of Fire Force Season 2 completely ruined any effort to portray Tamaki seriously by cramming in a cheap “lucky pervert” joke into an episode that should have been perfect for this character’s development.
– A large part of So I’m a Spider, So What, as every major battle in the light novel, every overlooked scene was left empty. They didn’t even try with the final big battle against the hero; it still has some of the worst animation I’ve ever seen, with a battle happening in a barren area that looks like a structure from Morrowind.
